In reply to Efexor 225mg - what next?, posted by pretty_paints on July 14, 2004, at 9:45:37
i got "numb" on effexor, but it took me longer to notice. bills went unpaid, relationships suffered, etc. it's what convinced me to get off of the stuff.
then the withdrawals were horrible, for over a month.
now, 6+ months later, i feel like i've become a monster. i posted about this above - i feel a horrible emptiness i never felt before. i've destroyed most of my supports, and i'm wondering what i've done to myself. sometimes i can't stand to be alone - which leads me to put myself in risky situations, etc. sometimes i can't stand to have anyone around me.
my advice will be little surprise: get off the effexor as soon as you can. no one knows enough about this med. i'm sure it did something to me, something not good at all.
